In pasture, on top of a drumlin. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an oval area (c. 40m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined by a bank and fosse W-NE and by a scarp elsewhere with an E-W field boundary crossing the interior and a N-S field boundary truncating the NE perimeter. Remains consist of two arcs of earthen banks (inner bank: int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.7m; outer bank: int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1.05m) with an intervening fosse (Wth 5.9m) W-NE. The S half of the rath has been levelled. The entrance (Wth 1.8m inner bank; Wth 1.9m outer bank) is at N.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
